He can still die, by sword to the chest by Conde. Show has already revised history by making him so old. He died as a weak, frail 16-year old. That is no way describes Toby Regbo. And of course, we only have Megan Follows and Adelaide Kane confirmed for next year from the current cast.
This is very very true. Or maybe he'll just live and Mary will leave, or something entirely different, who knows at this point!
I feel like the Conde thing is very quickly completely falling apart and he's going to for realsies betray Mary soon.
Curious to see how it will go. Ditching Francis and keeping Conde makes sense if you go the historical route. They just can't drag it out to next season. Considering the ratings, they might want to make next season the last so they shouldn't be too worried about huge changes. The problem is: how do you keep Bash, Catherine, Kenna, ... around without Francis? It is quite unpredictable considering only three people have already been confirmed for next year.
Was reading up on the different characters, and Claude is really different from reality. She was a hunchback that was very discreet. Doesn't sound at all like the current interpretation. She is closer to Clarissa in reality.

And yeah, those ratings.3 will probably be the last.

I feel like ditching Francis and going with Conde back to Scotland makes more sense, but I'm feeling like they're building to Conde betraying Mary and Mary and Francis coming together again, so...not sure what's going to happen.
Claude! I didn't know that. Though I didn't even think Catherine had an actual daughter named Claude, I figured most of her kids other than Francis were made up/based around other children.
She had ten kids in real life with the show version having kept most of those kids.
Francis II, King of France: The main character who has been upgraded from sickly to healthy, a bit older too.
Elisabeth, Queen of Spain: She only appeared in the pilot.
Claude, Duchess of Lorraine: Upgraded from sickly to beautiful.
Louis of Valois: He was presumably scratched from the show, but he died at 1 anyway so he doesn't matter for the story.
Charles IX, King of France: The important kid that will become the next king. We have seen him.
Henry III, King of France: We have seen him briefly, the younger surviving brother.
Margaret, Queen of France: Mentionned.
Hercule François, Duke of Anjou: Mentionned.
Joanna of Valois: Inspiration for Emone/Henrietta but aged up a bit in the show.
Victoria of Valois: Inspiration for Emone/Henrietta but aged up a bit in the show.

Lool at Catherine's descent into crazy girlfriend. I might almost feel sorry for Narcisse.
I'm hoping Mary is bluffing at the end. I'm just tired of Conde now :/
Also wtf was going on with the pagan girl at the end? Was she having sex with Bash or someone else who turned into Bash, what? Did I miss a little something? But I was confused.

The preview for the finale is crazy, they'll introduce
.
Queen Elizabeth of England
Her facial cues seem to suggest she is lying. When talking to Francis, she suddenly gets a stern look like she has made up a plan. The same happens with Conde, she suddenly stops crying when he looks away.
She turned a nobody into Bash to bond him, so she seems to get control over Bash in some way or another. It means Kenna can save him next season.
I agree about Mary. That's what I hope! Get 'er done, girl!
Okay, that's what happened in that scene? It was super weird. Like, at first it made sense, and then it stopped making sense lol.
And yes, Kenna gonna have to save him from the EVIL WITCH. Oooh.
D: Francis' baby.
Oops Kenna lol
Baby is okay!
Lol damn, this plot, Conde getting the fuck out. Catherine damn. Hahaha. Oh jeez. Fucking ice cold. Narcisse hates his life.
This witch...uuuuuh. What is her plot?
Bye Catherine. Omg rude, spitting on Narcisse.
Bye Kenna.
Francis and Mary, reunited at laaaaast.
Kenna found a kiiiiiing lol
Oh bye witch. Or not. Errr.
Francis finally dying. Ratsky is back! Queen Elizabeth!
Oops Kenna lol

Less realism, considering it concerns witchcraft, supernatural beings and the likes. It does improve a lot from the first few episodes. It goes from a love triangle drama to a powerplay between kings and queens. Current season runs around three queens trying to consolidate their power.

The series really came into its own when it dropped the prophecy nonsense after 13 episodes. It's absolutely incredible right now.

Just caught up to last week's episode. That ending oh my. I guess there was enough foreshadowing but I didn't put it together. =x.
This season seems stronger than last so far.

Claude really gave her husband a humiliation, but damn Catherine. That was a master plan. Narcisse clearly has a lot to learn.
A lot of unhappy pregnancies too with Elizabeth and Greer. At least it looks we won't lose Greer like Kenna.
Mary and the ambassador seem like a nice fit. I wouldn't mind them ending up together.
Charles is finally growing into his power.
Very little Bash, he seems half-written out of the show.
Awwww Leith.

Damn, this is back? I need to catch up. Fun show.
Yep,I have the new season DVR'ed,going to binge soon...
Season is still great so far,entertaining,cruel at times,witty and also candid on occasion.
''We need to keep the servants quiet''
''Bash,gather them up,offer them bribes for their silence,if they refuse,tell'em I'll cut off their heads''
Bash : ''Somehow I doubt they'll refuse'' while everyone looks at him shaking their heads slightly.

Show is really cutting costs, so many bittersweet moments. Show has really done on a number on the initial group, they are all gone aside from Mary. French court was decimated as well, with two kings and Nostradamus gone. Looking back at the picture, it was really not a surprise who got killed first.
Still, some kickass moments like Catherine reminding her own son that she has many sons that could become king and Mary taking Scotland. A lot of set-ups for a good (final?) season.

I have a feeling he will bounce back,but yeah so far it doesnt look good lol.
Fingers crossed for the poor kid but the preview for next week had "he's a necrophiliac!" in it. Not looking good lol
Joffrey wouldn't care about the men he got killed.
Yep haha.
WHAT A HERO THO.
Do we know who plays Bothwell? I'm wondering if they're going to finish the show with (historical spoilers? lol. I don't know, does anyone really care?)
Mary's death, or maybe just to her fleeing to England?
We don't know who they'll have for Bothwell, but he has been casted. As for the ending,
they seem to be hinting at sticking to history.
Oh man, please. That would be a great way to end the show lol.

This show makes me want a Shakespeare Universe show.
The Hollow Crown. Stars Jeremy Irons, Tom Hiddleston, Cumberbatch. But I would have loved an Elizabeth spinoff from this show if the ratings had been better.
